$BTC is not an ATM, but a slaughterhouse specifically for harvesting newcomers. I've seen too many people rush in to gamble without even knowing how to use a wallet, ending up losing everything. If you really want to make money, you at least have to understand the basics first, know what blockchain is, how to play the tricks of exchanges, and how to read K-line charts.
The way you trade cryptocurrencies is very important; don't just follow the crowd blindly. Those who trade spot markets shouldn't laugh at those who trade contracts, and those who trade contracts shouldn't look down on those buying altcoins. Spot trading is safe, but when a bull market comes, you can't outrun the big players; contract trading is thrilling, it might multiply tenfold in three days, or you could end up on the rooftop three days later. The key is to find a method that suits you.
Time is your best friend. Holding onto Bitcoin is definitely a good choice, but don't be foolish and hold it indefinitely. In a bull market, sell 10% every time it rises by 50%, and in a bear market, start gradually picking up chips when it falls by 30%. This is the approach of smart people; it ensures you won't miss out on the opportunities.
